Alleviating Fuel Poverty in the EU
The study published by BPIE found that energy subsidies and direct financial support for household heating cannot provide a long-term solution to the fuel-poverty problem. However, vigorous energy-renovation measures of fuel poor homes can give a long-term answer to fuel poverty. Case studies of EU countries financing measures against fuel poverty indicate that – even though energy efficiency measures have proven to be the most sustainable solution to the fuel poverty problem – they receive lower funding compared to income and fuel price support schemes.
